Money in the (digital) pot
Munnypot promises “straightforward financial advice in a language people can understand, at a fraction of the cost of a financial adviser or wealth manager”.
The service aims to address “the financial advice gap” affecting 16 million people in the UK.
It provides “an intuitive WhatsApp style ‘chat-based’ user-interface that guides people in their savings and investment decisions, using straightforward language and a conversational style”.
The company was set up by Simon Redgrove and Andrew Fay, founders of Cavanagh Group (which they sold to Close Brothers in 2011 for £26.2 million).
Munnypot is a trading name of i-saver Global Limited.
It soft launched in December last year and is now fully operational.
